💜An Extraordinary Act of Kindness💜 Zachary, a 7th-grade student at EMS, has shown us all the true meaning of generosity this holiday season. He donated an incredible $240 of his own chore money to our food drive and even used part of it to purchase a turkey for a family in need. When asked why he chose to give so much, Zachary simply said, "I have everything I need, and I want to help those who don’t." Zachary's selfless act of kindness truly moved us beyond words. It’s a powerful reminder of the compassion and generosity young people are capable of. Zachary, we are so proud of you—you inspire us all. 💜💜

🩺 A Message from the School Nurse 🩺 We want to remind families about important guidelines to help keep everyone healthy this season: 🌡️ Fever: If your child has a fever of 100.0°F or higher, they should remain at home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. 🤢 Vomiting or Diarrhea: If your child experiences vomiting or excessive diarrhea (three or more episodes within 24 hours), they can return to school once they have been free of symptoms for 24 hours. We’ve been seeing cases of mono, gastroenteritis (stomach flu), Influenza A, strep throat, and respiratory illnesses such as croup and bronchitis. 🔍 Please monitor your student’s health closely before sending them to school. If they are feeling unwell with symptoms like fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, allow them to recover at home to help reduce the spread of illness within our buildings. Your efforts make a big difference in keeping everyone well. Thank you for your cooperation and care!
